“Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Un-returnable, because all you get back in another box of chocolates. You’re stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there’s nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there’s a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they’re gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you’re desperate enough to eat those, all you’re got left is…is an empty box, filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.”-The Smoking Man, X-Files

"See the TURTLE of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the earth. His thought is slow but always kind; He holds us all within his mind. On his back all vows are made; He sees the truth but mayn't aid. He loves the land and loves the sea, And even loves a child like me." - Roland Deschain, The Waste Lands

“Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.”

well, I don't remember the exact words, but a guy in a movie I watched in Music History, mentioned something about someone realizing that "music could be more than just repetitive melodies and simple dance beats."then I said to the guy next to me "too bad people don't remember that anymore"

"The citizen is becoming a pawn in a game where nobody knows the rules, where everybody constantly doubts that there are rules at all, and where the vocabulary has been diminished to such an extent that nobody is even sure what the game is all about."-Andrew Eldritch

"Tojo and his claque of imperial army boneheads said to [Yamamoto], in effect: Why don’t you go out and secure the Pacific Ocean for us, because we’ll need a convenient shipping lane, say, oh, about ten thousand miles wide, in order to carry out our little plan to conquer South America, Alaska, and all of North America west of the Rockies. In the meantime we’ll finish mopping up China. Please attend to this ASAP."

- Neal Stephenson's interpretation of the Japanese plan in WWII, Cryptonomicon

"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true." - Gautama Siddhartha (Buddha)
